If a topic exists that a
privileged-cis-hetero-white woman should be mindful of, or at least educated on and cautious when speaking about, Tina Fey made an offensive joke about it in this book. I mean there were homophobic comments and slurs, racist comments, ableism, offensive comments about mental health issues, offensive religious comments(and not just towards christianity), some very backwards feminist views, etc. all disguised as jokes. YIKES. I was not a fan of this memoir. I can't imagine this book was recieved well when it was published 10 years ago- but it has really not aged well. I do NOT recommend this to anyone.
